Treatment of avulsed permanent teeth in children

Abstract

In the years since the guideline for treatment of avulsed permanent teeth in children was originally published1 there have been significant changes in our understanding of this injury and the potential outcomes of healing. The treatment options have changed little, with still very few robust clinical trials which have investigated what options the dentist or healthcare professional is able to provide to improve the clinical outcome.2 This article presents a summary of the forthcoming, revised treatment guideline, which is based on the best evidence available based on human, animal and in-vitro studies.
